In recent times the multiculturalists, and critics of Western civilisation, such as Critical Race Theory, have been working to deconstruct Western intellectual achievements. There are two progs to this attack. One uses relativism, the idea that all knowledge is relative to cultures, so there is nothing special or objective about Western science and technology. The other approach is to find the origins of Western achievement’s in other cultures. The later has been taken with mathematics, with some arguing that the Arabs and Chinese were the founders of modern mathematics. Ricardo Duchesne debunks these works, and shows that modern mathematics as we now understand it, was primarily a creation of ancient Greece, that is, the idea of a logical system, with axioms and deductions proving theorems.
